security was easy as making pie. The rest of the building was still the same. I suspect that she would take care of that too. All the way back to the dorm I searched for cameras. Now that I knew what to look for I was seeing them everywhere. I could see the need in public places and high security areas. But the dorms? I would take care of some of them.
The hike across campus was pleasant even though I was searching for cameras. It was only a short few weeks past Imbolc and the Oak King still reigned supreme. I speculated to myself whether I could bring Cat and Chuck into the old religion. Ostara wasn’t all that far off. I hadn’t thought to invite them to my rites the previous year. Several members of the ad hoc Pack were here and called my name. I waved as I entered the main entrance to my dorm. Rooming with one of the Alphas had its advantages. There was a camera in the doorway but I left it alone. Same for those on the ground floor in the main rooms and stairwells. They needed those for security. I zapped the camera in the locker room and shower areas immediately. I had to walk the entire dorm, but I killed all the bathroom cameras. The individual rooms were another issue. Stepping outside I found the junction box where all the lines exited the building. A snap of my fingers fried the whole system. I hoped that only the security department had access to those feeds.
Cat and Chuck were arguing when I stepped into the room. I looked at my two friends. Both had cat eyes and whiskers popping out of their faces. They were both seconds from changing. “Hey! Knock it off!” I yelled at the two of them.
Focusing their attention on me prevented the change. I really didn’t want to listen to Fergus bitch about two really big cats in the room. He only tolerated the two in human forms.
“What is it this time?” I asked them as I scanned the walls looking for my prize.
“She won’t take the title of Alpha publicly!” Both of them were now watching me stare at the walls. Cats.
“So, you thought of goading her into changing... and then what? She would see the error of her ways as she ripped you a new one? Is that what you thought? She might bite them off this time.” He made a face and crossed his legs. I shook my head and laughed at him.
I wasn’t having any luck finding the camera, so I said a word of power and swirled my hands above my head. Strands of color began to form. I had what looked like a ball of colored yarn floating above me.
“Agatha, whatcha doin’?” Cat was mesmerized by the colors and the swirling motion the ball was making.
“That’s a good way to catch Weres. You need to remember that one, Agatha.” Fergus was standing on my desk watching,
I concentrated for a moment and visualized what I wanted to happen. The ball of ‘yarn’ broke into a thousand strands that flew in a dozen directions. They clumped up in three locations. The light feature at the center of the room, a spot above the door, and another above the windows. Three balls of molten fire formed in front of my eyes. With a word they homed in on the spots of color and incinerated them. Shards of the light feature sprayed in all directions. Fortunately it was plastic. “Oops.”
“What the hell, Agatha?”
It took me over an hour to explain. Cat kept having me go back over information concerning the Director and the camera system.
“So where is the junction box located at?” Chuck didn’t look happy at all.
“It’s at the rear of the building where the cable and other electrical stuff comes in at. The one I fried on this building said ‘TelcomSyS High Power - Do not touch’ on it.”
Chuck nodded. “I will get some of the boys to help but we need to take care of the rest of them.”
“I can zap a few of the individual cameras, but do you realize how many there are? I can’t get them all.”
“Agatha, we can sniff out cameras now that we know
